Badly abused and left tied to a tree, here is little Willow the podenco.
She has been to the vets and is undergoing treatment for her injuries, skin condition etc.
She is calm and loving which is unbelievable given what she has gone through. Very young and in Seville.
We urgently need a foster home offer or adoption

The Spanish hounds are incredible survivors. Here’s a tale of one, who now sadly needs help, a Podenco Ibicenco named Rosi.
‘Rosi, an abandoned dog but with luck, a girl daily has been carrying the water and food, feeding Rosi other 4 dogs.
Every day for a year, when she heard the noise of the vehicle of the girl, Rosi came to meet, making leaps of joy, but everything changed two days ago, Rosi was not in place, Rosi didn’t make an appearance, the girl was expected the worst and so it has been.
This is a road and a ravine in Spain. on 7th September Penelope Guest, who lives nearby, heard some faint cries. She tells the story.
‘Well, it’s started…the mass killing of podencos. Yesterday I could hear tiny helps, coming from the mountain behind me. John and I climbed up as far as we could, and could see a bag hup higher. John was able to clibe all the way up, and inside the bag were seven newly born podenco puppies. Unable to bring them back up, I called a friend to bring some ropes and a pulley and we were able to bring John and the half-dead pups up.
PEPA rescues many podencos from Valencia province, Rosemary Macdonald tells the story of Bonnie.
‘This is Bonnie who was in danger of having her puppies on the streets of Valencia. Now less than a week later here she is the proud mum of seven at the moment healthy pups. We have been given promises of help with these puppies so I hope everyone helps us as we will need foster for them in about 5-6 weeks.’
If you are in the area and can help, please contact Rosemary. Also any help with feed bills and vaccinations.
This poor podenco has been named Verity. She was found in this terrible state and taken to Little Pod Association, who took her straight to their vet. She is suffering from an horrendous case of mange, her blood count is down to just of 15 so she is also severely anaemic, as well as seriously starving.
News on her from LPA.
‘Let’s start with the good news (yes there is some good news!!)
Verity’s initial blood tests show she is amazingly negative for all diseases (Leishmania, Filaria, Ehrlichia, Lymmes)… We have to wait for the next set of results from the lab to make sure but we are all completely astounded by this
The second piece of good news is that Verity doesn’t appear to have any broken bones or injuries that require any major surgery
This poor podenco was dumped in a perrera by the owner. Appeals were made on my facebook page Podenco Post to save ‘Grandpa Oldie’ by people outside of Spain. Although she has double the number of podencos she originally planned on having, all waiting for adoption – Bev Farmer of Podenco Friends stepped in to save Grandpa Oldie.
Grandpa Oldie turned out to be an 11-year old female called Alaska who had been taken to the perrera by her owner, along with an up-to-date vaccination record! Bev says, ‘she is not underweight and looks to be well cared for.’ However, as with all rescued dogs, Bev took Alaska to her vet for checking over, as she was not happy with swelling around her stomach and she also had a temperature.
Until recently Scooby didn’t rescue podencos but that changed when they recently took in dozens more animals, amongst them pregnant horses, ferrets, goats…all fed on potato crisps! Here’s what Fermin has to say about their podencos.
This little podenca puppy is 3 months old, she was found abandoned with a huge infestation of ticks and fleas. She’s been named Skylar and is being treated but, not surprisingly with the number of huge ticks filled with her blood, she has jaundice. Fingers crossed for the sweet baby. She is with Pepa, if you can help find a forever home for her when she is better. Adorable – how could anyone lose her!
Look at this gorgeous little Portuguese Podenco – she was lucky to be rescued, Portugal has a bad record for canine suffering. She deserves to live the rest of her life with a family. Please contact Dogs of Portugal if you can help her.
